The worst free movie streaming website on the net. Pay the $4 if the movie is available in pay-per-view. You will be subjected to over 100 ads, mostly repetitive, which will greatly interfere with the continuity of the movie.
If you like more commercials than content (I mean about 4 to 1), then this site is for you. I decided to finish watching my movie for the sake of counting the number of full ads, pop-up ads and screen ads ( the ones that were patch-worked all around the video).
Full ads - 64
Popup ads - 97
Screen ads - 46
The movie was only 1:21 and of course they have to make the ads twice to three times as loud as the movie itself. It also stopped twice on me and forced me to start the player over, then find my place; of course, after several more ads. Also, don't bother trying to play anything full screen. They shrink it back down to make room for all of their screen ads. This makes AMC's streaming service look flawless, and they SUCK! I'm gong to left everyone I know to stay way. What a total waste of time. I can't even write to them, but I can write to the advertisers. Anyone who's dumb enough to pay to advertise must suck as well if they're willing to go so low as to advertise with them. I wish there was just one nice thing I could say about them, but anything would be a lie. I used to like Mountain Dew. Now, I won't ever buy it again. The ads made me sick.
This platform is so pathetic I thought YouTube had it's issues. Nothing that you want to see is ever available it's on there like it is BUT there's a ridiculous disclaimer with the word oops, really? Then there's a expectation that someone is supposed to follow, again really? I couldn't give this platform a rating because a 1 star is too much of a compliment. So just do everyone a favor and just completely take the Dailymotion platform down and dismiss it. Apparently I had to give a star otherwise I couldn't post my review but please don't take it to heart this platform is still pathetic. I need y'all to do better
Seriously Daily Motion, you would be the most hated website with Ads. You put my anger level so high with under 5 mins ad after ad which really doesn't give a good impression. Yes you have clients paying for their ads but really I would never promote, rate this website to anyone. The only good thing you got going for it is all the comments of unhappiness.
I uploaded a video with music. The song in question was from the YouTube Royalty-free Audio Library. The song even has the disclaimer:
YouTube Audio Library License
You're free to use this audio track in any of your videos, including videos that you monetize.
No attribution is required.
These idiots still dinged it, mentioning some music copyright issue BS.
They have such a low upload limit of just 2 hours of total video duration per day. On their website's help page where I was searching, they have listed out the limits for uploading for the account types User and Advnaced. However, there is not a single bit of info. On how to make our account as Advanced.
Such a horrible & vague website. Better use Youtube instead of this website. This website is an infant as compared to Youtube.
I have used this site with the help of adblock for years now to watch a favourite soap. This week it seems they have cottoned on to people using an ad blocker and the site is no longer accessible without disabling it. Ok, so I accepted this and disabled my ad blocker, but their use of ads is RIDICULOUS. One 20 minute episode of my programme contained a total of FOUR ADS where the programme was periodically stopped throughout. What's more, they lay on TWO ADS WHICH ARE BOTH IDENTICAL, BACK TO BACK. Even in normal programming, you get one single group of ads halfway through, so the programme is literally just in two halves, but this pathetic, greedy site make the viewer watch ads every 5 minutes. I will no longer be using Dailymotion and I am sure that many other people will also dump this site because of their greed and lack of care for the user.
I can understand a video platform having to run ads for revenue. But I don't understand a video platform running ads every five $#*!ing minutes. Not only running ads every five $#*!ing minutes they duplicate themselves most of the time.
I would've been better off buying the mini series I watched off eBay for 15 bucks.
Instead of running one minute Worth of commercials every five minutes they should run three minutes worth of commercials every 15 minutes at least that way the viewer I have a better chance of keeping track of what they're watching, this site is pathetic, I see why it is ranked 92 in video sites rankings
TOO MANY ADVS, HANG ALL THE TIME. NOT USER FRIENDLY,
Stupid video sharing platform ever. A 10 minutes videos you will get around 20-30 repeatly advertising. Worst part of all after the advertising the video just paused. You need to go and press the resume videos.
You don't get a similar interest videos on the playlist. Watching an english video you will get a korean sex video on your playlist. Than get a japanese musci video.
Whenever I'm looking for videos online and Google returns a link to DailyMotion my heart sinks because I know I can't use it.
I can't understand why it's so bad-You Tube usually works very well on my tablet or computer. Surely DM's aims are the same as those of YT, that is to allow people to watch or upload video clips.
I'd be the first to admit that I don't update my software nearly as often as I should as I have suffered technical issues with Windows updates that have required professional repairs, so I avoid them! The point is that despite this YT still works but DM doesn't.
I did contact them about my problems and their reply boiled down to 'make sure all your players are up to date'. I just don't understand why this is necessary for DM but not YT. Best avoided I think but it's frustrating when what you're after is only on DailyMotion.
With adverts literally every 5 minutes, what makes this dreadful website even worse is the fact that TWO identical adverts play back-to-back each time.
I can't even be bothered to elaborate further and spend any more precious time talking about this dreadful site, but you get the idea.
Watch things on YouTube or Vimeo instead.
The ads volume and repetitivness is like nothing I have ever seen... absurd - feels like more ads than content and I saw 1 ad 5 times in a row... but that is only an issue if the video will actually stream, and I have not managed to get through a single video before in grinds down to snippets of a few seconds at a time. Simply unbareable. I cannot understand why the advertisers would want to be associated with this product.
Now there are pop up bamner ads... wont stay in full screen. Prob cuz ads are trying to pop up... its a night mare... ALSO... VIDEOS AUTO SET TO PLAY AT 100 VOLUME WHEN CASTING! HAVE TO WATCH IN THE DAY NOW INSTEAD OF AT NIGHT WHEN EVERYONE IS ASLEEP... WHY IS THIS JUST GETTING WORSE. DAILYMOTION IS UNWATCHABLE!
The website was ridiculous and trying to get my videos uploaded to begin with there was no help no assistance just them blaming you for everything and something's wrong when your end after more complaints it just miraculously started working! Do to be a month behind on trying to upload my videos the 2-hour day limit was ridiculous trying to get them uploaded and caught up. In the meantime I thought things were going pretty good until today out of the blue my account was deactivated for no reason! From everything they said but when I was looking into platforms to what was just done is absolutely a lie! They are supposed to honor free speech honor your rights Etc they don't just take you down like they talk about other platforms doing which is ridiculous to talk like that if you're going to do the same but worse because at least the other platforms give you a warning of what you've done they then maybe give you a suspension but you know what you've done you can appeal it and so on and so on I didn't get anything just notified I was deactivated not even a warning or a reason! Just an email saying sorry you've been deactivated! That is a joke! Needless to say from beginning to end it was absolutely a horrible experience and filled with issues and Lies by the Dailymotion and how they conduct business! They also said in the beginning they do not delete your videos so I'm really hoping that I can retrieve my videos and that they're not deleted since I have no other answer besides I've been deactivated or what to do which is another really crappy quality and way to do business! But it could be just another lie as I found out the hard way to this company!
Just Terrible! I got to watch half my video then it stopped. Did this twice and even downloaded the app but not any better. And during it all many ads so I know where they're getting their revenue. I was never asked to purchase during my horrible experience so I'm not sure what thats about. I wish I had seen rating before I spent so much time for nothing.
This is probably the worst video player i know, bad layout, bad settings. Not user friendly, to avoid
Repeated advertisement, No use of it. Please remove repeated advertisement and try to update as 1 advertisement per episode.
Daily Motion is not just ad infested, but every ad plays twice... minimum. Every couple minutes another $#*!ing ad. No thanks, i'll go elsewhere
It is total waste of time. I have timed the adds it's ever 4 minutes. Two adds back to back and you can't skip them either. Ver frustrating! Some times after the add video starts from the beginning. I just got done watching first episode of Mushk took about 47 minutes for a 30 minutes episode.
You would think they would get more servers. It's sickening, if one provider is carrying a tv series, or movies. No other service provider can touch it. Therefore, if Daily Motions is showing Desperate Housewives, Netflix, crave. Can't carry it. You would think if they are carrying/hog all the good stuff. They would make us happy. Get more servers!
Answer: What do you mean you cant watch any videos, can you be more specific?
Answer: Get Adblock -- free download software -- will improve things immensely.
